Sadlowski won the World Long Drive Junior Championships in 2005 and 2006.〔 In the adult competition he has defeated rival and distance record holder Mike Dobbyn several times in the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship finals in 2008 and 2009 but, unlike Dobbyn, is of average height and slight of build at 5'10" and 168 pounds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Long Drive Contest )〕 He won $250,000 for winning his first world title in 2008, and $150,000 defending it in 2009 during the economic difficulties.〔 As of 2011 he has a personal best drive of 445 yards.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Jamie )〕 He won the 2008 finals as number 1 seed against number 2 seed Dewald Gouws, with a drive of 418 yards, hitting 434 yards in an earlier round.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Super Freak: The longest hitter in history )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How does this guy bomb it? )〕 He reached the semi finals in the 2010 championships but lost to eventual champion, England’s Joe Miller, with a best of 388 yards as compared to Miller's 396.〔
